At this time, Wang Delin was only 25 or 26 years old, but his cultivation level had already reached the fourth level of Foundation Establishment.
The earliest a cultivator could reach Foundation Establishment was 20 years old. In other words, he had reached the fourth level from the first level of Foundation Establishment in five or six years.
If Wang Daoyuan saw the current Wang Delin, he would probably get a huge shock too.
With a heavenly spirit root and a water spirit body, his cultivation speed was terrifying.
Although he had accumulated many years of merit, it was still terrifying to be able to reach the fourth level of Foundation Establishment so quickly.
He cultivated the Black Tortoise Water Resistance Technique of the Black Tortoise Hall in the Valley of Beasts, which was one of the core techniques of the Valley of Beasts.
This cultivation method was left behind by a powerful cultivator. The cultivation method used was very profound, so naturally, one's cultivation speed would be greatly increased.
Previously, Wang Mingchen formed his Gold Core at 150 or 160 years old.
His special physique was a battle physique. Before he condensed the Nanming Li Fire, it didn't increase his cultivation speed.
Although Wang Delin's water spirit body didn't help much in fights of magical power, it was very helpful in terms of cultivation speed.
According to this calculation, his cultivation speed should be much faster than Wang Mingchen's.
Wang Delin went out for less than five minutes before he returned to the imperial study.
He cupped his hands towards Wang Mingchen and said, "Your Majesty, the Treasury Hall Master and Deputy Hall Master are waiting outside."
Wang Mingchen nodded. "Let them in."
Wang Delin shouted, "The Treasury Hall Master and Deputy Hall Master are here."
Wang Mingzhi and Wang Mingkang walked into the imperial study and were about to salute.
They were both senior members of the Wang Family. When Wang Daoyuan had just formed his Gold Core, the Underworld Sect was divided into territories.
When Wang Daoyuan was building the Governor's Office, they were in charge of the Treasury Hall and the Trade Division. It had been almost 200 years since then.
They were quite talented and had already reached the peak of the Zifu Realm. It wasn't difficult for them to form their Gold Core.
Wang Mingchen took out a jade slip. "Brothers, you don't have to be so polite. This is the news from my father. See how to execute it."
Wang Mingzhi took the jade slip and carefully read it before he handed it back to Wang Mingkang.
After both of them had read it, Wang Mingzhi said, "The Retired Emperor's method is excellent. The Imperial Court has a lot of resources, and the Blood Shadow Division has a lot of information.
With the Finance Hall taking the lead and establishing the Wan Chuan Chamber of Commerce, combined with Blood Shadow's information, doing business will naturally be successful. "
Wang Mingkang pondered for a moment. "Since we've established the Chamber of Commerce, we can recruit wandering cultivators on a large scale. It doesn't matter if their talent and character are lacking.
As long as he had spirit stones, everything could be solved.
Previously, because we didn't have enough manpower, we weren't able to develop the ore veins and other things in the Heavenly Slash Mountain Range.
At the same time, he didn't dare to let the other clans develop as they pleased, lest they become too powerful to handle.
Now, it's easy to handle. We can use the name of the merchant association to develop the various mines in the Heavenslash Mountain Range.
After these industries are developed, the final ownership will still be in the hands of our Wang Clan.
Among the cultivators recruited by the Chamber of Commerce, if they performed well, they could be sent to the imperial court to take up a post.
Those who don't know what's good for them will be kicked out of the Chamber of Commerce. "
Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.
There were many industries in the Heavenly Slash Mountain Range, and the clan lacked manpower, so they could only watch and not develop them.
Now, he had actually hit the jackpot and found a solution.
Wang Shouye smiled and said, "Mingkang's idea is not bad. As expected of a veteran who has been in charge of business for more than 200 years.
However, we still need to discuss it with Daoyuan.
This method is a huge adjustment to the Yan Kingdom's strategy.
If Daoyuan has any long-term plans and we develop them casually, it might ruin his plans. "
Wang Mingchen nodded. "Brothers, go prepare for the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce first. Uncle Twenty-Seventh, send a secret letter and ask for Father's opinion.
Even if we want to open up the industries, we need to set up the framework of the Chamber of Commerce and recruit enough manpower.
It will probably take several years to start construction, so there's no hurry now. "
Wang Mingzhi and Wang Mingkang agreed in unison and went to make preparations.
Wang Daojian took out the hall master token and sent a message to Zhou Luan.
More than four hours later, Zhou Luan took out the token and looked at it.
"This is the news from the clan. They have already begun to prepare for the establishment of the Wan Chuan Chamber of Commerce.
Mingkang proposed to use the name of the Chamber of Commerce to recruit people wantonly and open up the industries in the Heavenslash Mountain Range.
This way, the clan won't need to send out much manpower and can effectively develop the various industries. "
This method was a bit like the contracting system of the world in his previous life. It was indeed very beneficial for the development of industries.
Wang Daoyuan smiled. "This method is to use the power of the itinerant cultivators to do our Wang Family's business.
The clan has really produced a business genius. We have to train her well in the future.
However, we can develop ordinary industries, but we can't let go of the important industries.
The Heavenslash Mountain Range is Beiyuan's main spirit vein. There should be a lot of spirit stone veins, and there might be a lot of Yin Yang Purple Jade veins.
These industries must be in the hands of the Wang Family. The Chamber of Commerce can't touch them easily.
Even if it's an ordinary industry, the person in charge must be a member of the Wang Family. We can't let anyone take advantage of this loophole. "
Hearing this, Zhou Luan immediately replied.
After receiving the reply, Wang Daojian smiled. "Seventh Brother agreed."
Then, he handed the token to Wang Mingchen.
After reading it, Wang Mingchen thought for a while. "Father is worried that the Wan Chuan Chamber of Commerce will have problems in the future, so he has been asking us to hold the important industries in our hands.
Important industries such as spirit stone mines are the lifeline of the Yan Kingdom and the Wang Family. If we hand them over to the Chamber of Commerce, it's very likely that the underlings will take advantage of this loophole.
The people sent by the Wang Family to look after the industries can't all be very smart.
It's also very likely that the itinerant cultivators recruited will deceive and steal the authority.
In my opinion, this restriction should be tighter. "
Wang Shouye nodded. "Not only are the important mines strictly prohibited from being developed, but there must also be some restrictions on the spirit veins and forest farms watered by spirit spring water and river water.
Back then, when the Wang Family was at its most difficult, we relied on the Jade Dragon Spring water to develop more spirit fields and plant more spirit trees to barely survive.
Later, when the family's finances improved, the silkworm industry, which relied on the spirit spring water, was still the family's pillar industry.
This is an extremely important industry, so we must hold it in our hands. "
Wang Daochang said, "There's no problem with developing the mines, but our family hasn't been wantonly developing the mines in recent years.
We don't know much about the distribution of the mines in the Heavenslash Mountain Range.
We can use this opportunity to get a feel for the situation of the various industries in the Yan Kingdom and have a good idea.
In recent years, the imperial court and the family have been letting these industries go their own way.
I reckon there are quite a few itinerant cultivators who aren't afraid of death casually occupying the spirit veins, so we must deal with them.
This is to prevent them from having a large family after a few hundred years.
If we drive them away again, it won't look good.
In terms of manpower, I think we should take people from the family's Array Formation Hall, the imperial court's Array Formation Hall, and the Guardian Hall. "
Wang Mingchen said with a smile, "That's good too. It'll be easier to develop after we figure out the family's resources.
As for manpower, I think Second Uncle is more suitable.
After he formed his Gold Core, he was worried about not having enough fights.
Also, Wang Dezhao isn't someone who can stay idle.
He's also traveled outside for dozens of years and has experience in dealing with itinerant cultivators.
Twenty-seventh Uncle, we'll need to rely on Blood Shadow's intelligence to investigate the industries and drive away the itinerant cultivators who casually occupy the industries. We'll have to trouble you. "
Wang Daojian waved his hand. "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Intelligence is only a small matter.
We're all working for the family, so this is nothing.
I'll arrange for the intelligence personnel in the Shanbei and Qingli branches to help Second Brother and the others.
There's also the branches in Linhai Prefecture and Starfall Plain that haven't been activated yet.
I still have to help Mingzhi and Mingkang set up the branches. "
Wang Mingchen said with a smile, "I'll have to trouble Imperial Uncle with these matters. If you need any help, don't hesitate to ask. The imperial court will provide the greatest help."
After Wang Daojian left, he said again, "Third Uncle, I'll leave the matter of the investigation to you."
